FIRST LOOK: 2024 POLESTAR 2 | NEW LONG RANGE RWD VERSION FOR 2024

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive first look at the 2024 Polestar 2 Long Range RWD, highlighting its updated features and design. Key interior criticisms include a poorly designed cup holder that struggles with standard bottles and an intrusive center console. The driver's side armrest is noted as too short and tapering too quickly, making it difficult to use for drivers who sit further back. Rearward visibility is also deemed narrow due to the sloped roofline. On the positive side, the reviewer appreciates the panoramic glass roof, the sleek borderless side mirrors, and the quality of materials, particularly the fake wood trim and all-black headliner. The cargo area is praised for its practicality, including a useful trunk divider and a decent lower storage space. Exterior styling is generally well-received, with the rear design and light bar being particular highlights. The front-end design is noted to bear a resemblance to the Hyundai Ioniq 6. The reviewer also mentions the car's large battery (82 kWh) and the RWD configuration. A significant point of contention is the lack of a start/stop button, which caused the car to turn off when the reviewer exited to the back seat, disabling climate control.
